Milwaukee sidewalk counselors reported TWO babies saved from abortion May 5-11.
Last Monday, sidewalk counselors encountered a woman who was a "walk-in" - and she was pushing her other baby in a baby stroller. On her way out, she said she was keeping her unborn baby!
We need YOU helping save lives on the sidewalks! We know that praying outside of an abortion center can be uncomfortable, We take comfort in Christ's words from the Gospel of St. John: "In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
